I recently restarted my effort on learn Go, the community is vibrant, even on irc we have several users present on go-nuts channel, the number of libraries is growing very fast, I took some time and wrote two libraries to make some tasks easier.

Verbo is a collection of string functions like chop, dashrize, slugify, swapcase and several others that makes the developers life much more easier, there’s a lot of the other functions for string manipulation to come soon.

Both libraries are under MIT license, you that is a go developer is invited to contribute with fixes and improvements!

Last weekend I started to learn more about C++, my first project is a contacts manager, so I googled a little about how to do some persistence on C++ with minimum code and then I found SOCI.

SOCI is a very small database library which gives us the illusion to be embedding SQL queries in C++ code as the project site says, in fact, this is the beauty behind the library, which makes your C++ code very clean and easy to maintain.

But there’s no way to be productive with C++ programming these days without Boost, this awesome library has several utilities classes which can speedup your development several times, this blog post will show a little more about how these two libraries can help you to develop a database driven console application.

ASP.NET MVC is a great framework, very flexible, but sometimes we need to organize a little better our business logic, there’s nothing better than have a business logic completely decoupled from controller, which can be easily reused on several controllers over the project.

To help ASP.NET MVC make use of reusable business logic and other logic components aswell, we can add a DI/IoC container to our project, after few days researching about IoC container alternatives, I choose Autofac to create my first web application that takes advantage of Dependency Injection.More→
